FAQ
Is this real/a new update/currently in the game?
This is a fan-made fight made on the UGC testing server and will likely not be added into the game. It seeks to be an alternate adaptation of the King Azamoth fight, depicting him at the height of his madness and strength.
Can I play it?
Unfortunately the UGC testing server is not open to the public.
What were your goals when re-designing the fight?
Having witnessed the development of reworked Shatters in closed testing, I was privileged to see older iterations of the bosses. Previously, Accursed King would continue changing stances like he would in his pre-accursed phases and his chases were also a lot more aggressive, so I remade the phases with these ideas in mind.
One of the reasons the original Accursed King can be seen as easier than his pre-accursed phase is due to a major reduction in bullet emitters. Where pre-accursed King has a large array of crystals he can use to attack with, his accursed counterpart reduces to only 4 shades. As such, increasing this to 6 shades in this version allowed for much more complex and difficult patterns to be created.
Why do some of the phases look so different from their original counterparts?
Due to the nature of giving King stance changes, he can no longer be the main source of the bullet patterns as he is in some of the original phases.
I also challenged myself to build patterns entirely using pre-existing projectiles, meaning that everything you see in the fight already exists in the base game. However as a result, I cannot perfectly replicate the bullet patterns of the original as this would involve adding new projectiles to the shades.
How did you not get hit throughout the fight?
The patterns were not designed to be fair or balanced, as such the recording of the fight was done whilst being invincible with the audience's viewing experience in mind.
The high damaging bullets paired with its density is often times instantly lethal if a wrong move is made and as such getting legitimate footage is almost impossible. In this variant of the fight, King automatically cycles through all of his phases once before ending on his patience phase. Although not shown very clearly, patience lasts until King's health drops to 0, and his health carries over from all of the other phases meaning the player must balance dealing enough damage to the boss to make surviving patience feasible whilst avoiding inevitable death from directly confronting King.

IDK why put I feel like Hm shatters is the good ending to the shatters I feel like you had to clear the accused minions and let the non accursed minions be alive cause after all there not truly possessed. And after the king/ sacrifices himself to save the kingdom to be free from the void before he dies ( assuming) when he said " This fate is means to bear........not hers." He sacrifice himself to save the Queen so she may live on in the soon to be Released (Ghost penitentiary) but hey deca doesn't care about animation so there not gone add anything I just said anyways:). Also keep in mind the source in the throne room is the possessed queen it may be that the only thing left in the throne room was the Chrysalis of Eternity explaining it's description if you have it:). The void entity may have taken the shape of the queen cause she was the last person to wear it but that's speculation it might also explain why it's a source to unlock azamoth cause. After we destroy the fake/voided copy it finally breaks the voids control over Azamoth parsley explaining why he groans in Patience and why the shades have 2 opposite arms to represent. As for nox and Valgur. In lore ( am assuming) we knock out Valgur/ TBSential he's not died just knocked out but nox is harder to get he might be in the void or somewhere we may never know but who cares he drops mid whites anyways:) Regular/ shatters feels like a bad ending cause we didn't truly didn't end the threat of the void in the kingdom after all the TFK was just a vessel there are many more in the kingdom the stone idol is still not destroyed meaning we didn't kill the source of Village and of each room in the shatters from the Village, to Royal castle, and the throne room . Sorry for sharing my thoughts can't help it geek mode was activated:) 🤓🤓

Dark Souls OST. Toast would be proud

[@Toastrz]

Sure am!

[@deadclicks]

Neat!

[@alpine5528]

Cool redesign 🤓 Needs some short pauses to heal inbetween phases or short rampups At a glance, the phases don't seem as distinct from eachother in design or gameplay than regular accursed and the boss speed needs to be lowered by a lot the slow status effect spam from shades is untenable Not sure if i like the patience redesign. You could make king TP randomly or to a random player and explode instead like in that other phase

[@loogoriks9105]

I see that it's illegal to sprint and micro dodge, guess I'll die. 4:17 Overall looks hella fun!

[@catalyze_]

A lot of this just looks like shot spam, especially considering how you were using invulnerability to do it. This would be a lot more viable if shot/player hitboxes were accurate, and maybe if the shot density was slightly reduced, as some of his patterns just look like undodgeable walls of bullshit then again what do i know i dont even play this game anymore

[@mizumi-]

Nameless Monarch was never designed to be fair, only to look cool
